Nursing Home Fined For Negligent Care Of Resident On Ventilator

State regulators issued three citations against the facility for the 2007 death of the 90-year-old resident. An investigation in the incident by state authorities determined poor care led to the woman's death when staff at the facility intentionally disconnected the woman from a ventilator and shut-off a remote alarm to notify staff of problems with the machine.
